Hello, The office uses some important software (designed for xp) which runs poorly when the Aero setting "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" is enabled in system properties, performance options. I know you can use the "Disable window's composition option" to disable Aero whenever an application is started; however, a less crude fix would be preferred. Hopefully one that leaves Aero features unaffected for other windows. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
